SHARP'S PLEA HEARD.
Six Hours for Argument Divided Be-
tween the Counsel.


tween the Counsel.
NEW YORK, Sept 13.--The extraordinary
session of the general term of the Supreme
Court, called to hear the argument upon
Jacob Sharp's appeal from his conviction
for bribery, re-assembled this morning be-
fore a crowded court room. Judge Van
Brunt presided, flanked on either side by
Judges Daniels, Brady and Bartlett. The
proceedings were opened by Mr.. Sticlney
asking that the court would insist that the
argument should be concluded to-day
Judge Van Brunt, having conferred with
his colleagues, announced that the court
would sit until $50 o'clock, allowing six
hours for argument. which would be divided
up evenly between the counsel. This was
considered sufficient
MOTION TO STRIKE OUT.
Mr.. Nicoll moved to strike out all that
portion of the argument relating to the
motion to quash the indictment, because it
forms no part of the judgment roll, accord
ing to the act of 1887 I'VE claim, ~ said he,
that no part of the constitutional rights
of the defendant were involved y The mo-
ton was granted.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
court was waived by Mr. Stickney who stated
that he had no intention to avail himself of
that point. Bourke Cochran, broadly stat
ing his conviction that the evidence against
Sharp upon the trial was incompetent and
Objectionable from every leagal point of
view and not enough to put the defendant
upon his defense, reviewed the case from
the beginning, recapitulating the evidence
against Sharp and commenting upon the
weight of consideration to be given it in
determining Sharp's guilt or innocence.
Counsers statement practically covered the
same ground which has been SO often gone
over before. adding nothing new.

grand navy that successfully fought with
Great Britain in the war of 1912, and
which performed such colossal and
brilliant work in lS6l-5? And has it
further given thought to the figure we
NAV cut if we should have another war
with a powerful maritime nation, di-
vested as we are Of that nursery which
furnished us the thews and sinews and
the saltwater experience for two sue
cessful wars? 1t might even appear to
the mind of a statesman of broad and
expansive views that nation ought to
encourage the restoration OF so valuable
an arm of defense and offense, even If 1t
had to do so by stretching its powers to
spend the money of the whole
people in bringing about so con-
spicu GUS bene fit to the whole country.
With our merchant marine restored to
its old-time size and splendor, the naval
arm of our Government could be left
comparatively diminutive. 1t might
then be likened to the genii in the
Arabian fable, who, at the touch OF the
wand of the enchanter, grew from q
pigmy into the stature Of a giant, and
covered with his spreading dimensions
the face of the whole earth.

Benefit TO major wyatt.

Friday of next week the people of Los
Angeles will tender a benefit to Major
Il. e. Wyatt, the popular lessee of the
Los Angeles Opera House. During his
incumbency of this position Major
Wyatt has shown himself to be an amuse.
ment caterer of high order of talent.
For the first time in the history of Los
Angeles he has provided regular sue
cession of amusement, irrespective OF
season, climatically considered, as to all
of which, whether they have been of a
high or an intermediate order of merit,
We can fearlessly say that they have all
been approved bv the judgment of San
Francisco or high grade Eastern audi
ence. For the first time in our amuse-
ment annals we have had an experience
of this kind through Major Wyatt's en-
terprise, pluck aud capacity. The sum-
mer has been no interruption to the
amusement programme in Los Angeles,
under Major Wyatt's auspices, nor will
it be, as his engagements reach already
into the middle of August, the attrac-
tions embracing such expensive special
ties as the Langtry. We know that the
people of Los Angeles will turn out en-
masse to show their appreciation of this
spirited and intelligent caterer to Their
amusement and instruction, because
Major Wyat!'s programmes have Sc
curely and creditably fuctuated between
the rightful significance of those two
words.

Rogers appeared. A thorough search
was made Of the building but beyond
traces of the burglars nothing else
was found. It was afterwards as.
certained that the man had stood
ont on the street and whistled three
times Just before Officer Moffitt ap-
peared, thus warning the burglars and
giving them chance to escape.
A short time prior to this the Los An
eeles Electrical Works, No. 20 South
Main street, was entered by means OF
the back door, which was pried open
very easily. and the burglars carried off
the following articles: Eleven pairs of
opera glasses, eight telescopes, the
largest fourteen inches in length, four
field glasses, worth $50 apiece at whole
sale, thirteen gold, silver and steel spec.
taces, varying in value from $l2 to S25
each, one pedometer, half score of
magnets, handful of glasses and peb-
bles, and all the postage stamps in the
house.
A daylight attempt at burglary was
made yesterday morning about eleven
o'clock ON Sepulveda street. Two men
walked up to No. IL and entering the
back yard began to operate on the back
door. When they had nearly succeeded
they were discovered by woman who
lives at No. l3, on the same street. She
telephoned to the police, but by the
time the officers arrived the men hat
decamped. Both men we're tall, wei
dressed and of light complexion.

A LAND office business is now being
done in this city by certain real estate
brokers with credulous parties in locat'
ing them upon sections of desert land
Just east of the Sierra Madre and the
San Bernardino mountains. In this In
stance it is certain that the locations
co nsist of real desert lands-not such
lands as were so extensively taken up
few years ago under the Act in Kern
county, where they were all susceptible
of irrigation, nor such as have been re.
claimed in Antelope valley, where arte.
sian water has been developed. During
the month of May ninety.two entries
were made in the United States Land
Office in this city, aggregating "A, S44
acres. In June there were 1863 entries,
a aggregatirg g 65, l22 acres. Agreat proper.
tion of the parties entering these lands
are women, who have been made to be-
Ii eve that section of land in the worst
part of the desert can be made into
valuable farm. There may possibly be
eight or ten thousand acres near the
NJ ohave river that could, at great ex.
pense, be reclaimed and rendered pro-
ductive. But the great bulk Of these
desert lands is utterly worthless, and not
one in fifty of the deluded people locat-
ing there will ever realize a cent upon
their foolish investment. The way the
br okers manage this thing is to procure
q map of the desert townships. Then,
from the books of the Land Office they
tran sfer the names Of the sections
that have been regularly located.
Those open for entry are
then put upon the market. and for fee
of s25 in hand paid, and s25 to be paid
when the patent has been secured, each
Gus toner walks up to the Land Office,
enters his or her application for the sec.
tion selected by the broker, and pays to
the Receiver 25 cents upon each acre, as
required by law. As during the past
two months there have been 100. .966
acres of this particular land entered,
these deluded people have paid into the
land office $27, ,49l. so in that time. We
are not aware that there is any actual
fraud practiced upon these people
other than the cruel delusion they
are worked into by the brokers
in making them believe that there
can be any possible value attaching to
desert lands that ore not within miles
of water, and which by no expense of
capital could be irrigated. There is no
hope for those who have been bitten;
but we would warn all who have not
been drawn into this Mohave desert
land swindle, to leave it severely alone.
The desert east of the Sierra Madre and
San Bernardino mountains has not one
redeeming feature in it, and all who
spend money in taking up land there
will lose it.

Business men appear to be very care
less in securing their stores upon leaving
for home after business hours are over
and it is due to this fact that many OF
the burglaries which are reported have
occurred. Scarcely night passes but
tha. one or more back doors or windows
are found left unlocked, and even if
they are not, the fastenings are so inse-
cure that the thieves can gain admittance
with little trouble. In a time when SO
many of the worst element naturally
drift hither and when the police depart
ment cannot cover the ground ade-
quately, extra precautions should be
taken if the people do not desire to be
burglarized. There are but forty mem.
bers of the police force to watch city
which spreads out over almost as much
ground as does the city of New York
proper. Where the houses are scat.

afforded thieves for plying their nefari.

How Mozart Was Buried.

The approaching gala performance of
Don Giovanni" has set all the Paris chroni-
queurs on the track of Mozarts biography.
Some curious knowledge has been oppor
tunely aired Here is the story, the anthem
tic story, of the burial of the great COM
poser: The interment took place ON Dec 6,
1871, in the cemetery of st. Marx, at Vienna.
In the midst of the ceremony violent storm
broke forth in sudden fury, and the rain
fell in such torrents that all the guests and
friends dispersed. The interment continued,
and in the confusion the site of his special
grave was not remarked. None of his
friends-and many of them were very rich
had thought of securing for him private
grave. He was buried in a common foSse,
with many Others A few days afterward
his widow tried to identify his place of
sepulture and was unable In 1859 the mu-
nicipality of Vienna thought to render hom-
age to the memory Of the great composer,
A monument was to be erected over his
tomb. Then it was found that the tomb
could not be identified. Up to that time no
cross, no sign, no funereal emblem indicated
the resting place of Mozart. The munich
pallty were resolved this scandal should not
continue. The fourth tomb at the right of
the great cross in the cemetery was selected
to have honor done to it as holding the dust
of Mozart, and since 1859 it has been treated
as Mozart's tomb.
